    This little vaio seems to be a pretty good deal... xpbargains has it listed at $1100. However, the only thing I'm worried about is the RAM capacity. It comes with 256K which is not acceptable. How easy (or hard) would it be to upgrade to 512K or more??? Is it even possible?

    Also, does anyone have any experience with this computer at all? Other than the RAM issue, it seems competitively priced, and has great features... here are the specs:
